Capel Curig
Capel Curig ((:ˈkɑːpɛl ˈkɨːrɪɡ); meaning "Curig's Chapel") is a village and community in Conwy County Borough, in Wales. It lies in the heart of Snowdonia, on the River Llugwy, and has a population of 226,〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Conwy'' )〕 reducing slightly to 206 at the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Community population 2011 )〕 It is at the junction of the A5 road from Bangor and Bethesda to Betws-y-Coed with the A4086 road from Caernarfon, Llanberis, Pen-y-Pass and Pen-y-Gwryd.
Capel Curig is recorded as being as the wettest place in the British Isles (), although the weather station is in Dyffryn Mymbyr, a couple of miles out of the village, in the direction of Snowdon.
==Name==
Capel Curig takes its name from the little Saint Julitta's Church in the ancient graveyard by the river bridge on the Llanberis road. This confusingly has been known for over 100 years as St. Julitta's Church and is currently being restored by the "Friends of Saint Julitta". Tradition claims this chapel to be the 6th century foundation of St. Curig, a Celtic bishop. Centuries later, probably when the present ancient church was built, the name appears to have been Latinised as Cyricus, which is the name of a 4th-century child martyr whose mother was Julitta. They are usually named together as ''Saints Quiricus and Julietta''.
The names ''Capel Kiryg'' and ''Capel Kerig'' were recorded in 1536 and 1578 respectively.〔''A Dictionary of British Place Names'', A.D.Mills, Oxford University Press, 1991〕
